Play By Play

I am in the midst of reading Mercer's book, "Play by Play". I am curious how many people on this forum have either read the book or took his 'Broadcasting Sports' class.

I tried to take it when I was there, but I could never get in the class.

Play by Play by Bill Mercer. I got the book for Christmas and am just now reading it. The end of chapter 1 is a real eye opener for me.

His class was one of the most memorable classes I ever had (and toughest). I took both semesters (football and basketball).

Bill is a great person to learn from. He has a tremendous resume' and has taught a great number of current broadcasters. Personally, I could never succeed at it. Good luck.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!

I had him for a business speech class and he would come in, tell a few current Cowboy tidbits and that put us at ease. We then would give our speeches. Most interesting class I had. He threw in a few sportatorium stories also.
